The Rum Power in Relation to the
Economic Enterests OF the City and
Country.
Not only do the figures appal
us. but let as remember that the vast
sum OF money that is every year paid as
& tax to this hungry monster is money
not simply thrown away (for it gives alb
~solute1y nothing OF value in exchange,
but it creates an additional cost equal to
the first bill, in the loss of time and other
expenses incident to the patronage Of
the saloon. In round numbers the
liquor bill of the United States
every year is rine hundred million. Put
the liquor bill for the country into the
treasury of the United States and all
forms OF taxes might Immediately be.
abolished and ell public Improvements
might be doubled with work
enough to give. every idle man in
the country employment for 300 days
in the year, and double the APP
preparations might be made for all eda-
cational purposes. Or let us look at it
this way. Suppose We estimate five
persons to q family; we have in round
numbers ten million families in the
United States. Ii we divide the saloon
bill amongst those families, we have q
tax upon each of 800. Now if we add
the direct cost of the saloon according
to conservative estimates) we have a tax
upon each family of $50. But it is safe
to say that as yet not more than half the
families of the United States are patrons
OF the saloon. Therefore this bill OF ex-
pense must be divided up among five
million families. The result is that the
rum power e1acts o tax of $3.50 from
every family represented among its
patrons, or $72 upon every member Of
the five million families. These figures,
mostly calculated as I stand on my feet,
explain the poverty, suffering and want
OF all the poor in the land.-Dr. Peatseost.

A Powerful Temperance Agency.
The railway managers of the country
are proving to be the most efficient, be-
cause the most practical, of temperance
reformers. Many of them have pro-
hiblted the employment of men for train
service or IN ether responsible positions
who use liquor in any form. Now they
are beginning to prohibit the sale of IL
quor on grounds owned by their rail-
roade. President Robert Harris of the
Northern Pacific has lately issued an
order prohibiting the sale of liquor on
any property controlled by that COM

High License is Acceptable to the

Our first objection is, that the scheme

that every such law, sooner or later,

Playing Chess by Himself.

New Workers who live in the suburbs
indulge in novel and queer pastimes oc-
casionally while going to and fro between
the city and their homes. One of them
was observed one morning recently play
ing chess all by himself while the cars
were making forty miles an hour He
held in his left hand book containing
chess problems, and small cardboard on
which were marked the black and white
squares The chessmen were small pieces
of paper, on which repres entations OF
kings, queens, castles, and so on, were
printed. Following the order of the
moves given in the book, he played the
game bv changing the positions of the
pieces of paper, each square having below
it a slit into which the pieces of paper
could be thrust and firmly held, no mat
ter how much the car shook. Meantime
he smoked cigar. New York Letter.

Il is very absurd to hear English speak
ing people still saying the old French
word chic, ten years after any French per-
son Of taste has left of its use. It would
be bad enough TO Anglicizs the word and
use 1t as II 1t were ones own language,
but It is simply ridiculous to add "as they
say in France" or "as the the French say"
The French don't say chic. They used to,
1t is true, and in the time Of the empire
the word was upon everbody's lips. The
Empress Eugene and all Of her belong
ings were chic. It is q pretty, snappy lit
tie syllable, and fashionable people took
1t up in Egland and America, and, in this
country at least, they cling to it with a
tenacity worthy Of a better cause. No
Partisan says chic nowadays. A person
now may have a great deal Of cachet,
but it is thought as bad form to say chic
in Paris as it Is to say "genteep in Boston
or style" In London.

That all men have equal rights is a
cardinal doctrine in the theory of
democratic government, but it is
possible to expand the claim to a
point beyond the bound of rights
simply, and apply it to the results of
the exercise of our inaliensble endow-
ments. Human beings are not born
with equal gifts and powers. When
ever there is an upper and middle,
there must be an under. The weak
must seek the wall and be the stile
from which the ambitious strong will
vault toward the top. Nor can those
appointed by nature for the pyramids
base serve in any other position. To
press the wall as little as possible, get
all the pay for service that it demands
and make the "best ofnow and here" !"
IS the bound of their possibilities.
Without foundation there can be no
superstructure, and the position is az
truly honorable as any other, though
universal mankind have held 1t to be
less desirable. All theories for the
help of those who serve must proceed
upon an admission of inequality.
